Transform your chaos into cosmos

Tag Archives: transform

It has come to my attention that I procrastinate things that I have forethoughts about. I put something on a list. Look at it. Fear the outcome, the time spent, or the unknown…whatever it is…I think about it. As of now, I am erasing the “To Do List” and creating the “Do It Now List.”

With the DIN List, I will not allow myself to THINK. Overthinking stops here. It is useless and it hurts…it doesn’t help. It allows the uncertain to be entertained. It allows us to subconsciously decide to AVOID what it is that needs to be done.

Yes, we HAVE to exercise. It is not a choice. If we lived in the time of the cavemen, we would work off our calories. But, we don’t. We sit for a living. We become slugs for a living.

Just do it. Thanks Nike. They mean don’t think about it. Get it done.

You want chicken tenders for lunch, but you NEED grilled chicken (thanks to Chris Brogan for bringing this to my attention :)). Don’t THINK.

Just eat it. Thanks Weird Al. 🙂 Anyway, food is overrated…we only need it to survive, not to enjoy. Pleasure comes from experiences not taste.

Starting today, throw away your To Do List and consistently work on your Do It Now List and watch your productivity, your health, your accomplishments soar. (Dang you, bald eagle.)

What is on your To Do List that you keep procrastinating? What if you don’t give it a second thought and put it on your Do It Now List? Will you get it done?

The Law of Attraction is simple: Like attracts like. Whether good or bad.

If we want to attract good, the decision is ultimately ours.

What kind of like are you attracting?

How we talk is a manifestation of what we think. How we act is a manifestation of how we talk. Why not think, talk, and act successfully? (Success is relative, of course, but I love Ralph Waldo Emerson’s definition to the left 🙂 )

Belief is the basis for what we think.

If we believe that we are rock stars, we think, talk, and act as rock stars. If we believe that we are unworthy of status, we elicit behaviors that sabotage our attempts at success.

We are manifestations of our beliefs.

That’s great as long as we believe in the true Soul that we are and not in our own skewed vision of Self.

Does Self stand in our way?

With writing, I often find my Self throwing up resistance (in the form of procrastination by spending too much time on Twitter, my Google Reader, Facebook, etc 🙂 ) at every peek at success(i.e. finishing a piece or making headway on the novel)…my Self is my roadblock.

If beliefs are aligned with the reality of Soul, then Self will not get in the way.

Can we change our beliefs? Yes, by changing what we say and reversing the order of the manifestations mentioned above.

Is it easy?

No. It isn’t easy, but if we are MINDFUL, if we are living INTENTIONally , then we set a course to rewire our hard drives to think in ways that bring about positive change and attract the results we want.

We have to define Self (who are we?). Connect our dots(bring all of our roles to an intersecting point). Connect to Other (family, friends, etc), in order to complete the image of our reality that we want to bring about.

We all have strengths. We all have gifts. We have to listen to Soul and recognize those strengths and gifts. Use positive Self Talk that we may or may not hear consciously (oftentimes, our actions manifest our beliefs more loudly than our words do, but that is another post 🙂 ).

Listen to Soul. Define who you are. Consider your reality. Create it.

Transform your chaos and order your cosmos by seeing Self for its beauty, defining the reality you want, and setting your INTENTION for positive bounty through the Law of Attraction.

What are your Soul gifts? How can you set your intention to make your reality the best reality it can be?

In the quest to connect our Facets of Self, we know Mindfulness is key to being aware and alive; key to letting Soul live and breathe within us. Yet, Soul is still trapped without Self-Acceptance.

In order to free it and allow others into our Cosmos, the chains of guilt and self-doubt have to be broken. Each person shimmers, but seeing that shimmer can be difficult for some. In accepting Self for the beauty that it is and recognizing its potential as if it were the Self of another, we afford it the opportunity to flourish and grow. We do not hold friends and family as critically as we hold our own Self. Why punish it in this way? Their Self is no different from ours. Being overly critical hinders it and creates limiting beliefs. Thereby, binding it.

Heart, Soul, Mind Conflict

Soul accepts Self and loves it. Heart accepts Self and loves it. But, it is Mind that overly disciplines Self and makes it feel less than the rest. By being mindful, we are aware that these limits set upon Self are not true limits, but only perceptions of truth. In this way, we recognize the moments at which Mind is needlessly reprimanding Self. We react. We change what we believe. Repeatedly countering negative thoughts of self-doubt with positive thoughts of self-acceptance anchors those affirmations within us.

Why do you not accept Self?

Ask yourself from where the criticism originated. Perhaps it was imparted by a member of Other. Maybe your parents parented in negative ways. Maybe a teacher that you looked up to made you feel less than adequate about an assignment that you felt really great about. Maybe you are truly a critical person and you are the only bestower of your own negativity. Release them all. They thought they were serving you by pushing you to be greater, but the truth is greatness was already there.

Love Self as much (or more than) you love Other. Because there is no doubt how much you love your family and friends and Self deserves the same love.

See the big picture…

Look into Heart. Look into Soul. See your beauty. See that you do the best that you can do and accept what is your best. Yes, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won the Nobel in Physics in 2010 “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”. But, you are you. Don’t judge Self by what Other does. You are SuperMom. You are DaringDad. You are SuperStudent. BestSister. Whatever. Accept who you are as a unique creature that gives life all that it can.

Robert Holden says in Happiness Now! that “Happiness and self-acceptance go hand in hand. In fact, your level of self-acceptance determines your level of happiness. The more self-acceptance you have, the more happiness you’ll allow yourself to accept, receive and enjoy. In other words, you enjoy as much happiness as you believe you’re worthy of [emphasis added].”

How much happiness/love/Self-acceptance do you believe you are worthy of?

In the end…

Accept Self. Love Self. Connect the Facets of it together by aligning the way Mind thinks with the way Heart and Soul feel. You are beautiful. Transform your chaos into cosmos.

Practice:

1. Listen for the negative voices.

2. Address them.

3. Counter them with a positive affirmation.

4. Make it a daily habit to keep an Affirmation Journal, writing down your strengths and acknowledging your weaknesses as lesser strengths, not weakness.

What is it that you would like to fully accept about yourself? Do you love yourself as unconditionally as you love others? I looove talking to YOU! Leave your thoughts and comments below:) Thanks for visiting!
